SC Begins Defense Of Conference Title
Webfeet Seek First Victory over Trojans
Since 1915; Game To Start at 2:30 p.m.
BY JACK GILLEAN
“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” must be the slogan of the Oregon football players.
After trying since 1915 to defeat Southern California, the Webfeet invade the coliseum again tomorrow to battle the Trojans at 2:30 p.m. in the opening Pacific Coast conference clash for both team*.
Russia, Estonia Sign Mutual Aid Pact
Report of German Air Victory Branded Lie by Britain
Russia and Estonia signed a pact of mutual assistance and a trade agreement in Moscow last night and thereby probably cleared the way for further moves in the widespread program of Russo-German collaboration for domination of eastern Europe which reportedly is envisaged by Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin.
Just where Italy, Germany’s military ally, will fit into this picture is not clear but it is increasingly apparent that the Russian and German dictators are working closely together and that soon they must decide what share Benito Mussolini is to have in their grandiose plans.
Informed foreign diplomats in Berlin believed that a “final peace proposal” from Hitler would be forthcoming soon.
VICTORY REPORTED
The German high command's announcement Thursday of a second Nazi air victory over the British fleet—categorically denied by the British admiralty—was believed to indicate that Hitler is organizing a major sea and air attack on the Allies.
Germany, the Berlin diplomats said, is ready to assail Britain and France with incessant air and submarine attacks unless the Allies agree to call off the war.
POPE MAKES APPEAL
Pope Pius XII again raised his voice in an appeal to the warring nations to seek a solution of their differences at the conference table instead of in bloodshed. He asked that neutral nations take part in the general conference. The pontiff did not send his peace appeal to Soviet Russia, arch-foe of the Vatican. because the Holy See and Moscow have not had diplomatic contact since the rise of Bolshevism 20 years ago.
German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop continued his mysterious conversations in Moscow and Nazis in Berlin said that the formation of a huge economic bloc encompassing all of Eastern Europe and dominated by Germany and Russia was the goal of the talks.
Activity Book Sale To Continue Tomorrow
With approximately 2600 books already sold, student activity books will remain on sale today and until 12:30 p.m. tomorrow. Sales this year, according to ticket office officials, are expected to exceed last year’* total of 3,000,

SCRIPT RECORDING PLANNED
“The script will be prepared completely by a member of the staff and will be recorded rather than read at the showing. A newsreel staff member rather than a member of the radio department will record the commentary.
A new camera designed to photograph interior scenes • and night shots has been added to the newsreel staff’s equipment' this year. Its high sensitivity to light will enable cameramen to record poorly-lighted scenes and evening affairs such as hockey gamps. Figge said. COLOR SCENES ANTICIPATED
A color feature will be contained in each issue. Football games will be covered completely, Figge said. A play-by-play description will accompany the pictures.
This year's newsreel head has worked on the production as script writer, technician, director, and assistant producer. He was recommended to the pest by Don Bar-telli, former producer of the Review.
Luther Club Officers Will Be Introduced
Members of the Luther club will convene for the first meeting of the group Monday at 12 M. in 322 Student Union. Officers for this year will be introduced.
Students may sign up for the luncheon meeting in the office of the Student Council on Religion, 1 floor, Student Union.
